Can I get the instruction book please?




I think I was skipped over in line. Aren't you supposed to get an instruction manual to adulthood right after your diploma? The Principal hands you the diploma, and then some random lady off the stage hands you the manual for the rest of life? And for the record I do imagine her as Milificent, in old lady form, from Snow White....



There are things that I still go to the "adults" at work and in my life for questions, and it's almost like getting help for your homework when you're in elementary school. I went into buying a house with little to no information or help. My lender I think hated me because I was so paranoid about screwing up the process that I called him at least 2-3 times a week throughout the whole process. And I always brought every single piece of paperwork that had anything to remotely do with the house. If you ever need a great mortgage company and lender I reccomend Lake Mortgage and go see Ted . He is very patient. VERY patient. Trust me.

So my question to you is- what advice would you have put into the Life's Instruction Manual?

This Blog will be brought back from the dead. I just need a chicken or two.....Here chicken chicken chicken.....

I am an adolescent heading into adulthood already doing adult things. I need all the help I can get so I will again be posting looking for advice, stories, ideas, random off topic comments, anything.

Let's do this.

The Zombie Apocalypse.....Part 1!

Yup. Zombies. I was really bored on the drive into work today and I was thinking how to kick off this brand spanking new blog. Is it really any surprise that it was zombies that came up first? Didn't think so.





In an age full of bio-terrorism, E-Coli scares, and movies like Zombieland- who doesn't have a plan for the inevitable? Maybe that's what 2012 is all about- who can survive in a world gone to the mindless cannabalistic masses. Well I for one intend to try. This ladies and gentleman is the Zombie-Compound plan.



Live on a coast. Zombies hate to swim. Plus with all the rotting flesh and gaping holes they are not very bouyant. If you subscribe to the Zombie-virus theory than they are still breathing and subsequently will drown once deep enough. Score one for the living. Or non-infected.



House on stilts. I'm thinking more concrete pillars on this one. Joe (my boyfriend) came up with this one and I was skeptical at first. But the more I though about it, the more I liked it. I would put the house up on concrete pillars though. Slightly more weather resistant. Plus of course sniper towers. What zombie compound doesn't have sniper towers?



Bomb shelter/bunker. Keeping with the 50's nuclear scare I really like the idea of an underground bunker that can be stocked up and sealed off. Impenetrable, probably 3 openings in all different locations around the compound. Zombie-proof. This obviously is a last ditch effort once the compound is overrun.



As far as enclosing the compound in, I do like the idea of the concrete with barbed wire along the perimeter. If electricity is available- electrified barbed wire. Who doesn't love a good zombie BBQ? Around the outside and inside I was going to go old fashioned moat. Not only does it allow me to house pet alligators and other sorts of water predators I normally would not be able to have, but the interior moat also would double as irrigation for the crops (to be brought up later).

Those are the preliminary ideas we came up with. More of course is to follow. Please feel free to leave comments with your anti- Zombie plans.
